Many people do not want to take formal music lessons and have no interest in learning how to read music. These courses are for those people who want to learn to play the guitar by ear.

2.) The next page is the tuner - you click on the button for the corresponding string and hear guitar string played.
3.) The next page explains the rudiments of guitar: What is a chord, what is a key? Which chords go together. Which chords should be learned first, etc.
4.) The chord reference page shows the chords and plays them when you click on the corresponding button. It's complete, you won't have to go out and buy a chord book
5.) The lessons page has eleven (12 in the kid's course) lessons. You only need to learn about ten chords to play all eleven songs
in the eleven lessons. Click on the video button and a video of a professional guitar tutor plays giving the lesson. Each lesson uses a different beat and you learn how to strum that particular song. Click on another button and the drums for that particular beat starts playing. These are the most commonly used rhythms (i.e 80% of the songs on most radio stations). waltz, 8 beat, 16 beat, rock beat etc

HERE IS A LIST OF THE GUITAR COURSES CURRENTLY AVAILABLE:

1) BEGINNER KIDS (12 lessons - R 150)

In this course only three, three-string chords are use to show the little ones how a key works, and how they can play the rhythm while singing 12 children's songs.

2) THE BEGINNER GUITARIST (11 lessons - R 150)

In this course, the beginner leans to stum the guitar using eleven basic chords and the most important rhythms.

3) THE FINGERSTYLE GUIRARIST (11 lessons - R 150)

Using the chord structures we learnt in The Beginner Guitarist, we learn, in The Fingerstyle Guitarist, to pick a pattern of stings in order by way of accompaniment. This pattern is then extended and changed in subsequent lessons, and the course includes two instrumental numbers.

4) THE LEAD GUIRARIST (11 lessons - R 150)

Here we learn which scales to learn on the neck of the guitar, their position, function, and improvisation.

5) FLATPICKING AND OPEN TUNING (11 lessons - R 150)

This course teaches the student how to flat pick (Strumming and picking at the same time with a plectrum), and open tune the guitar. (open tuning is a technique of tuning the guitar to a chord - or partial chord - to gain certain effects).

6) THE COMPLETE GUITARIST DVD-ROM (67 lessons - R 490)

The DVD-ROM contains all five courses, plus eleven extra lessons, and is designed for computers running Windows with a DVD-ROM drive. It is not a DVD and WILL NOT WORK on a DVD player, nor an APPLE computer.

7) SONGS AND BACKTRACKS CD-ROM - (R 150)

This CD-ROM contains some 700 song files in Word Document, some of which are the same song written out in different keys (the ones I often use in lessons). Having worked through the courses, the learner can now go through this collection to see which songs are familiar, and which of those have easy chords.

There are also 189 mp3 backtracks. These backtracks are also on the CD in midi form as well as a program which allows you to play the them in any key, change the speed, and mute any channel .Great to practice with! These are the same backtracks I currently use on stage.
